It may help in ASPECTS finding visible ischemic changes in patients suspected of having stroke-related circulation occlusion. It’s available in the CT View&GO plugin. The results can be sent to PACS automatically if configured in Inline Results. Advanced Modeled With ADMIRE, correction loops are introduced Iterative into the image generation process. These mataart dalL Reconstruction iteration loops utilize raw data information to Fred ripe (ADMIRE) significantly improve image quality. Additionally, image noise is removed in the iterative corrections without degrading image sharpness. The noise texture of the images is comparable to the standard convolution kernels. ADMIRE results in an improved image quality with reduced noise and increased image sharpness. Bolus Tracking Bolus Tracking monitors the flow of the contrast medium in a vessel. Start a diagnostic spiral scan as soon as the enhancement has reached the desired level on the live images. * Optional feature for the ICU variant, not commercially available in the U.S. SIEMENS Unrestricted | Published by Siemens Healthineers AG | © Siemens Healthineers AG, 2024 Master Template Effective Date 21 Apr 2023 | HILS 2224 Healthineers Page 3 of 5 Job Aid | What's New with SOMATOM On.site ICU VB10 Effective Date: 25 Jul 2024 | QR700010176 myExam Companion myExam Companion helps you to customize the scan parameters, reconstructions, and scan ranges to your patients and their clinical indications. myExam Companion includes myExam Compass and myExam Cockpit.
